Something looks familiar

New construction in the Ivy City neighborhood of Washington, DC.

The Ivy City neighborhood is rapidly gentrifying, so it is not unusual to see brand new developments abutting shells of former buildings. But this pair of buildings on Capitol Avenue NE looks mighty familiar.

Surely it is not a coincidence that they match perfectly? Perhaps this is what progress looks like.

There are a lot of random facades being propped up in this manner around the neighborhood. I am not sure why they are worth keeping, but at least they are providing inspiration for new buildings?
